After surgery, Tork will have to undergo radiation.
“I am extraordinarily grateful, amazed and humbled by the encouragement,
affection and support I’ve received so far,” said Tork, who expects to get
back to work in a matter of months. “Barring any complications, I fully
expect to honor a performance dateI have this June with (current band) Shoe
Suede Blues.”
Tork is best known for his role as the bowl cut-wearing
multi-instrumentalist in The Monkees, a made-for-TV band that over time
evolved into legitimate artists. Their many hits include ‘Last Train to
Clarksville’ and ‘Daydream Believer.’
When asked if he’d ever reunite with Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Michael
Nesmith to tour again, Tork said, “Well, never say never.”
